Not directly, the trains go from Union Station in Toronto. There's an airport bus from the airport to Union or taxis/limos. The adventurous can get there by TTC but I wouldn't.

Getting the connecting flight to Kingston will get you there in 20 minutes, plus you can wave as you fly over my house...

On some A-C flights Im not even sure it would cost much extra.

The other option is to use an "airport bus" service direct from pearson to Kingston, and save the hassle of lugging luggage etc downtown to Union. Trentway-Wager operate a service to Queens Uni for example. Ontario Coachway probably have something too.

I do wonder why the airport is not connected better to downtown.

Coach Canada one way is a lot cheaper, at $60ish

I believe there's a limousine/bus that runs from the airport to Kingston. It's probably considerably more expensive than what DBD33 described but perhaps you'll take convenience over price.

Thats either the Trentway one or the Ontario Coachways one, likely to run close to $200. The Coach is a lot cheaper, but you have to check the wait time for the scheduled run.

Thanks everyone - that gives me a lot more options than I thought.

Yes a "Pearson Express" sounds well overdue!

You may as well check out megabus, just to compare prices. http://ca.megabus.com/Default.aspx They leave from the bus station at Bay & Dundas.

There is the airport express bus which will get you from Pearson and will drop you off just across the street from the bus station. http://www.torontoairportexpress.com/

A single flight from Toronto to Kingston on Air Canada is $136 ($203 including taxes) but you may be able to get it as an add on, which would be cheaper.

The only caveat to that is that sometime the wait at Pearson for the connecting flight can be longer than it would have taken to get the bus... especially if the first one is full.

Looks like it Coach Canada - judging by costs and the fact that you dont have to change - something my 21 might just be able to cope with!

you can wave as you fly over my house...
LOL hadnt noticed that comment - are you in or near Belleville per chance?

Bit north, I couldnt actually see my house when I flew the route because we literally went right over the top of it.
